Kuini and machang are indigenous to Malaysia. It's strong aroma and taste have obviously left an inedible mark on the psyche of the local people as evident from these lovely 'pantuns' that are reproduced and translated at this blog, here.

You don't find many kuini (mangifera odorata) in the market. Part of the reason is that the tree is not very productive as far as commercial farmers are concerned. For the same amount of fertiliser, pesticides and labour, the production is significantly less for the kuini tree as compared to other commercial hybrid mangoes.

Another reason is that the weevils love kuini and losses can be high, unless one really go the 'overkill' path and spray pesticides copiously.

At DQ Farm we use nature to help us. And nature works 24/7 without rest.
